Tissue Flashcards
Connective Tissue Function
Provides support, most abundant and diverse, storing reserve fluids and energy, transportation of things throughout the body
External of your bones and stores calcium
Compact Bone Connective Tissue
Simple, stratified, pseudostratified
Types of forms of epithelium cells
Cartilage Connective Tissue
No nerves or blood, found in your joints and in other parts of your body
Even bigger versions of a cuboidal cell
Columnar Cells
Receives signals from other neurons, branch like
Dendrites
Epithelial Tissue Function
Covers and protects body
How much cells make up one nervous tissue
2
Cube, absorbs nutrients, secretes things
Cuboidal Cells
Example of squamous cells
Skin
Pancreas
Example of cuboidal cells
Pseudostratified epithelium
Layered, but the cells are different shapes and sizes
The muscle in your stomach lining
Example of smooth muscle
How epithelial tissue is named
Name of cell + name of layer -= example - simple squamous cells
Types of epithelial tissue
Proper epithelium and glandular epithelium
Dendrites
Receives signals from other cells, branch like
Simple epithelium
1 layer of cells
Proper Connective Tissue
Most diverse, composed of ligaments, tendons, etc and is actually used to connect things
Compact Bone Connective Tissue
External of your bones and stores calcium
Normal body of a neuron
Cell Body / Soma
Example of columnar cells
Lines sex organs
Nervous Tissue Function
Control and communication, send electrical impulses and sense stimuli
Types of muscle tissue
Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Most common muscle that attaches to bones to make them move
Skeletal muscle
Squamous, cuboidal, columnar
Types of cells in epithelial
Layered, but the cells are different shapes and sizes
Pseudostratified epithelium
Example of proper epithelium
Skin
Multiple layers
Stratified epithelium
Example of cuboidal cells
Pancreas
Rope like, transmits messages
Axon
Glandular Epithelium
Forms glands and secretes hormones and other substances
